Pros

Northport is a nice area and it is close to home. Good places to eat close by.

Cons

Applied Visions does not hire full time. They say it is a full time position but once they bring you on they say "This is a 3 month trial" so immediately that's a red flag. During the 3 months you will have no benefits even though you are a "full time employee" and even though you have graduated college the job is still an internship with no training. Companies do this to try to show artificial growth in the company so they can get rid of that person after 3 months and it shows that they are "hiring". Throughout the 3 months I worked there, I would come in an hour early every day and not charge the company for it. I would leave a half hour later then everyone else. I would work on things for free on the weekend by logging in remotely. I would ask my managers and co workers "Is there anything else I can be doing? How am I doing so far?" And I was told I was doing great and I felt great. I even offered to work on the Oculus Rift the company bought and was not using. I have experience with making games and programs for the Oculus Rift and I was coming up with projects I would make in my spare time for the company for free. After the 3 months they had the "Review" where the managers show that they lied the whole time and tell you that you were doing badly. The review they write is non truthful, I had multiple programmers look at this review and they all came to the same conclusion of the review being false. Long story short the company is a dieing Long Island tech company that is struggling to stay a float. If you apply here just relies that it is a temporary position and the people you will be working with are less than credible.

It's unfortunate that this poster was so disappointed at not having been offered a full-time position that he chooses to post multiple reviews making inflammatory accusations of theft and fraud. He was paid for every hour he put on his timesheet over his trial period, which included more than 20 hours of overtime paid at time-and-a-half (our current intern rate is $18/hr; overtime $27/hr). We have converted many interns to full time over the years -- some still here after 10 years or more -- and we've converted 5 over the past 12 months. We are proud of our internship program, and of the people who flourished in it.

Pros

I started my career at Applied Visions fresh out of school and spent nearly two decades growing with the company. I had the opportunity to work on MANY interesting and exciting projects and learned a tremendous amount about the business and art of building software. The CEO, Frank, was always supportive and genuinely listened to my career goals, making it a place where I could chart my own course. The company strikes a great balance between being small enough to allow for diverse experiences across different parts of the business, yet large enough to work with major clients on impactful projects. It’s a great place for someone looking to build a long-term career and develop a wide range of skills.

Cons

Workload can ebb and flow depending on project cycles.
